800-919-2179

I actually received a a pop up warning screen on my laptop saying WARNING, Microsoft has detected that 2 "torjans" and a malware had been installed, my personal and financial data was in extreme danger, and I needed to call this number immediately so Microsoft could help me uninstall these programs. Folks, please never click on ANY site or link with misspelled words. I would think Microsoft would probably alert me to a 'Trojan'. The properties tab in my history file identified the warning as a jpeg. I don't know who spammed me, and I don't know who owns this number.

Sounds like scare ware here. The only persons who should be touching your computer is you, your manufacturer, Real Windows support that you have called and/or maybe a real live tech you see face to face!
